Malva Pudding

This is EASILY one of my most favourite desserts in the whole world (if not THE favourite), I LOVE malva pudding!  It's so sweet and so moist and so tasty.  :)  And it's so sinful with all the sugar, hehe.

 For the pudding:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs apricot jam
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp bicarb of soda
• generous pinch of salt
• 1 tbs butter
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 1 cup milk

For the sauce:

• 1 cup cream
• 125 g butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup hot water

1. Beat the egg and sugar well with an electric beater.  Add the jam.
2. In a separate bowl mix together flour, bicarb and salt
3. Melt butter and add vinegar - add liquids to the egg mixture alternatively with the flour mixture - beat mixture well
4. Bake in a greased glass dish at 180 degree C (350 degree F) for 45 minutes to an hour
5. Sauce - melt together all ingredients and pour over the pudding as soon as it comes out of the oven - you may have to do this slowly to give the liquids chance to soak into the pudding so that it doesn't overflow if you don't have a high baking dish

I don't think I'd ever make this dessert for when we have guests, 'cause I'm too stingy to share THIS one. :)

I dunno if you can see it, but it's SOOOOO moist.

Mmmmm.....served with cream....Although I'm one of those people who like to have some dessert with my cream, I actually enjoy this pudding more without cream - weird, I know....but that's how good it is. :D
